In order to study the stability of reinforced soil retaining wall on soft soil foundation under earthquake, a numerical model of reinforced soil retaining wall with a height of 10 m was established by finite difference software, and the slope top overload and seismic load were applied to it. The influence of backfill cohesive force (0 kPa,5 kPa,10 kPa,15 kPa,20 kPa),internal friction angle(25°,30°,35°,40°),length of bottom reinforcement(6 m, 8 m, 10 m, 11 m, 12 m, 14 m)and position of reinforcement on seismic stability of reinforced soil retaining wall was analyzed. The results show that the overall seismic stability coefficient of reinforced soil retaining wall increases approximately linearly with the increase of internal friction angle and cohesion of backfill soil behind the wall; the overall seismic stability coefficient decreases with the increase of reinforcement spacing,and the reinforcement should be placed near the maximum displacement point of the slope;with the increase of the length of the bottom reinforcement,the overall seismic stability coefficient firstly increases and then tends to be stable.
